Balance is not something you find, it is something you create. That seems to be the mantra of India’s head coach Rahul Dravid and captain Rohit Sharma while planning for the Men’s ODI Cricket World Cup.
Their quest — with Ajit Agarkar having joined in the last stages — was visible in India’s squad that will hope to end the 12-year-old drought for an ICC title, on home soil in October-November.
One may point out the absence of an off-spinner in the squad, despite two able options in R. Ashwin and Washington Sundar. Similarly, the squad doesn’t have a left-arm pacer, with Arshdeep Singh and Jaydev Unadkat being in the mix for a better part of the last 10 months.
